使用 Python 在 Word 中的行尾查找多余的空格

Question

I am working on a project, but there are several things that I have had trouble finding documentation for. In Microsoft word, when you type out a sentence, if a word goes past the set margins it drops down to the next line (I know this is common knowledge, but it's relevant). Margins:

|                               |
|Is this a good margin or is----|
|finding a better margin even---| 
|possible if we make minor------|
|adjustments.-------------------|

The space I've marked with the hyphens is what I am trying to find. I could always make an estimate by finding the characters in a line, but I want the exact amount of blank space left over. So for line 1 with margins of x how much of the line is occupied by the section of characters?

Any insights would be helpful.

Answer 1

Assuming that your string's will have a '|' at the end of them, the below code should work. Tell me if the | will not always be there I'll remove my post.

x = "                               "[::-1]
spaces = 0
for i in x:
    if i == ' ':spaces += 1
    else:break

output

31

Note: len(string) returns 31
